Magnesium is essential for numerous body functions, and this powerful mineral is a mighty weapon against various illnesses and diseases. Unfortunately, about 80% of Americans are deficient in it but are unaware of the negative consequences they experience due to it.

A study published in the Journal of Intensive Care Medicine found that magnesium deficiency doubles the risk of death and leads to numerous symptoms and diseases.

Magnesium is an antidote to stress, so it is a strong relaxant and improves sleep quality.

Magnesium deficiency is the main cause of stiffness and tightness of the muscles, cramps, and irritability, as well as mood swings. It is part of all tissues in the body and is mostly concentrated in the brain, muscles, and bones.

It plays a role in over 300 enzyme reactions, and our cells need it to produce energy, relax the muscles, and stabilize the membranes.

These are the symptoms of magnesium deficiency:

Anxiety

Chronic fatigue

Insomnia

Irritability

Migraines

Headaches

Constipation

ADD

Muscle twitches or cramps

Asthma

Obesity

Menstrual cramps

High blood pressure

Angina

Osteoporosis

Irritable bladder

PMS

Trouble swallowing

Kidney stones

Diabetes

Irritable bowel syndrome

Autism

Sensitivity to loud noises

Palpitations

Angina

Fibromyalgia

Reflux

The deficiency in this mineral leads to elevated CPR levels and inflammation. Apparently, 65 % of the people who are admitted to the intensive care, and about 15 % of the general population lack magnesium in their body.

The main reason for the numerous cases of magnesium deficiency is our modern diet, which lacks magnesium, and is high in refined, highly-processed foods.

Moreover, the excessive consumption of coffee, salt, alcohol, profuse sweating, phosphoric acid in colas, as well as intense or prolonged stress reduces magnesium levels in the body. Magnesium levels are also lowered due to antibiotics, chronic diarrhea, diuretics, intestinal parasites, and excessive menstruation.

Magnesium is additionally quickly lost and poorly absorbed from the body.

Here are some ways to prevent the loss of magnesium from the body:

Try to relax, and find some activities that relax your body and mind.

Reduce the intake of coffee, salt, alcohol, sugar, and colas.

Consult your doctor in order to check if you are taking some prescribed drugs that lead to magnesium loss, such as blood pressure drugs, and diuretic.

To optimize the levels of magnesium in the body, you should include magnesium-rich foods in your daily diet, such as:

Beans

Almonds

Brown rice

Brazil Nuts

Garlic

Millet

Walnuts

Kelp

Soybeans

Rye

Pecans

Buckwheat

Tofu

Dulse

Barley

Wheat germ

Dates

Figs

Shrimp

Cashews

Collard greens

Wheat Bran

Dandelion greens
